Javascript to read from a text file and save to variable - code not working

[sc13nt1st]

Hey all 

Man javascript is something else!

I am writing web app tests using selenium and I am planning on having a text file that has information. Is it possible for javascript to read from a text file and take the information ex. usernames and passwords and save it to a variable that can be used in a test?

Code: [Select]

import System.IO;
var file = "info.txt";

function Start () {

    var sr = new StreamReader(Application.dataPath + "/" + file);
    var fileContents = sr.ReadToEnd();
    sr.Close();

    var mydata = fileContents.Split("\n"[0]);
}
Is my code correct and am I heading in the right direction?

I don't do javascript but the programmer in me thinks it might not be wise to close that text file before all you need to do with the file is done. I mean, what if the txt file is pretty huge and not all of it can be copied into your var at once, since you don't have a loop, you end up loosing some data.
I might be wrong if javascipt implements its things differently.
